I left behind a dream job
and -Elevens, the Yankees...
The things we do, right?
But, really, living in London
has just been
the absolute best, truly.
That's great to hear, Dr. Goodwin.
And I just got my
medical license in the UK.
Not in the U.S. Had that one already.
So I'm ready to go back to work.
You just say the word.
We're looking for a urologist.
Not the word I was hoping for.
Get your head in the game.
Tell me about your most
recent employment.
NHS Hampstead.
Ah, yes. In what capacity?
- Receptionist.
- Receptionist?
- Mm-hmm.
- And the reason you left?
Ha. Kind of a funny story.
I got fired by my girlfriend
for starting an insurrection.
That sounds worse than it is.
[WHISPERS] Here we go.
For six years where I specialized
in the study of infectious diseases.
That is one incredible CV, Dr. Goodwin.
Well, those are just the highlights.
The full reel would really
knock your socks off.
Well, you certainly are qualified.
Thank you.
One might say overly qualified.
- Really? Who would say that?
- Uh, I would not say that.
I would say I'm just exactly...
[CLICKS TONGUE]
The right level of qualified.
Hiring someone who could
so easily replace me
doesn't sound like the wisest of ideas.
And before that,
you were medical director
of New Amsterdam in New York City.
Perhaps you should have led with that.
I, uh... ha ha... note taken.
May we reach out to
the current medical director,
Veronica Fuentes, for a reference?
I'd really rather you didn't.
It's gonna work out.
Look, I-I know there are
a million reasons
not to hire me, but-but I need this.
I mean, I love this.
This is what I was trained to do...
provide care, healing, helping people.
I don't care if I have to see
patients in some back alley...
I will do it. I-I just...
I'm begging you.
Please.
Just... put me back to work.
- It's a no.
- No.
Apologies... but no.
We just don't have a position for you,

Yeah, I guess we're both

Yeah. But, hey, thanks for
covering for me, man.

If she needs anything...
Of course, I'm happy to help.
Okay. All right. Yeah.

Well, my work can be

street crazy causing a scene.
I go to move her,
but when I touch her,
she freaks out.
She fights back. She's scared.
And I'm doing this hold we learn.
It's what we're supposed to do
to minimize the danger.
But this hold they teach us...
it's so easy to just...
cr*ck their shoulder.
And I did.
She starts screaming.
It was so messed up,
'cause I didn't feel sorry for her
or regret or anything
like a decent human being.
I fractured her shoulder
in three places,
and all I felt was...
- Angry.
- Yeah.
You know, people with PTSD,
they often freeze out
the ones they love.
It's like with you and your wife...
you pull back because
you're afraid if you don't,
she's gonna see that you're bad person.
But that's not the truth.
You're not a bad person.
You said it yourself.
You're doing your job.
You're doing what you're supposed to do.
But officers are not equipped
to handle a mentally unstable person
who isn't committing a crime.
That's not your job. That's my job.
That's a social worker's job.
What about the next time?
Well, I teach doctors and nurses
how to deescalate psychosis
all the time.
I'd be more than happy to teach you.
Everything I do has to be sanctioned,
approved by the committee,
union reps, training.
There's no going rogue even if it helps.
Well, then maybe I'll just
have to make it official.
Teach the whole NYPD?
Heck yeah. Why not?
That's crazy.
Okay. But we don't
use that word anymore.
Bananas. I will accept bananas.
- All right.
- All right?
That's bananas.
How's that feel?
- It's a world of difference.
- You are legitimate then, eh?
On my better days.
Well, I'll wager this is one of them.
- Thanks, Doc.
- Yeah.
Hey, you know, I didn't even
get your first name.
- Sid.
- Max.
Be good.
It's a bit smaller than New Amsterdam,
but at least it's outdoors.
No one would hire me.
And I... just wanted to feel useful.
I thought you said that
the interviews were going well.
Yeah, I did say that,
but I was lying to you.
I was either overqualified
or underqualified
or just the right qualified
with the wrong references.
Oh, you'll find the right spot.
I know you will.
That makes one of us. How's your day?
It's not much better.
- No?
- No.
- Interviews no good?
- Quite the opposite.
The candidates are remarkable,
but they're just somehow
not quite enough.
Every community needs representation,
and hiring one means
eliminating the other.
So it looks like whoever I hire,
I'm gonna be letting down
some part of this place.
- Hmm.
- Some part of myself.
Shame you can't just hire another you.
[PUNCHY MUSIC]
Oh wait. That's brilliant.
- What?
- Thank you.
Of course, glad I could help?
Transport team to unit please.
Transport team to unit .
Dr. Bloom?
Yeah, I'm right here.
Yeah. How did it go?
Okay. So there were some complications
with your procedure,
but Dr. Reynolds and his team...
I meant the game.
Did we win?
- Nico...
- Just lay it on me, Doc.
They got slaughtered.
Ah.
Total blowout.
And you wore the jersey.
Nico, I just told you
that you almost d*ed
and you're asking me about a jersey.
Why?
Because I'm a Knicks fan.
Because you're an addict.
- [SNORTS]
- What?
The very definition of addiction
is the compulsive engagement
in rewarding stimuli
despite adverse consequences.
Tell me, which part
doesn't apply to you?
Your body is screaming at you
that your engagement
with the Knicks isn't healthy
and you're just not listening.
I did wear the jersey, okay?
But if I'm being honest,
I kind of wish I hadn't.
- I need more calm in my life.
- Yeah. I'll say.
- Less anticipation of failure.
- Exactly.
No more obsessing over the Knicks.
Good.
Well, because baseball's
starting up spring training.
Nico, come on.
Let's go, Mets. Let's go, Mets.
- You best be kidding.
- I'm not kidding.
I just heard we got Max Scherzer.
I think we'll make playoffs this year.
You did wonders
for Willow today. Thank you.
And if we continue
our sessions together,
I can help manage her pain
and her nausea as well.
But if you want to do more
and help more people,
we have a way to do that.
But Veronica can't know.
Are you in?
Are you asking the holistic doctor
if she'll say yes to something
mysterious and unusual?
Welcome to the resistance. Hmm.
What is this?
Pierogi Platter from First Avenue Deli.
Flowers from Sherene's Garden.
Who sent all this?
[PHONE RINGS]
Hey Floyd. How'd it go?
All good. Yeah.
Hey listen, when you get home
and Lyn thanks you
for everything you got her,
just say you're welcome.
Okay. But wait,
I didn't get her anything.
You have a beautiful home,
Claude, a beautiful life.
Just say you're welcome. Yeah?
Spit it out, Zamaya.
I'm here about a theoretical situation.
I'm listening.
What if a few friends of another friend
were worried about that friend
throwing their future away?
But the friends that are
worried about the other friend
are also worried about their futures
due to certain retribution?
Is she safe?
Please. Is she okay?
As I met with you, Narin,
I thought this person
really has something special
to offer our community.
And when I met with you, Rahul,
I felt the same thing.
And again, with you, Charmaine.
This hospital's second in command
who might one day be
its medical director
has to represent
our multidimensional community.
So Charmaine, I'm hiring you.
Thank you.
And Narin, I'm hiring you.
Oh, that's wonderful.
- And Rahul you're hired too.
- Thank God.
- You're all hired.
- Now, let's get to work.
Shall we? [LAUGHTER]
[QUIET FOLK MUSIC]
Oi, oi. Maxie.
- Hey.
- All right?
- Yeah.
- So I hope you don't mind,
but, uh, I've told
a few mates about you.
- Y-you have?
- Yeah, I know it's late,
but all these fellas have
got appointments months away
and they all need to keep working.
The thing is, we don't know
why you're doing this,
but we don't care.
And they don't mind
my little clinic in the alley.
Well, you think they need
somewhere posh?
They just need help.
That I can do.
- So this is Ken.
- Hey. Nice to meet you.
- Matthew.
- Hey, pleasure.
- Eric.
- Nice to meet you.
- Dennis.
- How are you?
- Yeah, we got time for this?
- Yeah, sure.
All right, sweet.
